I would look at it this way... fans would hardly notice it because it'd probably come out to roughly the same size as Raymond's (by then expired) buyout and that spot on the roster (either this year or next) would likely be sub-1M player in any event.
The Flames contention window is open right now and Jagr is a bonafide legend who is still a valuable NHL player. To me... that's worth it. It's entirely fair to not have that opinion but it's where I'm at. My head thinks that he'd be a valuable contributor and the heart wants what the heart wants.
